I sometimes ride using a similar foot position, and I seem to recall reading some opinions on that once. So I switch things up and sometimes go on the ball of my foot, and sometimes move my foot further forward like you're talking about.
FWIW, I'm liking the Race Face Chester pedals these days. Mostly, I like them for their colors. I've a purple set on my commuter bike. The Chesters are composite with metal pins, look great, grip well, and the price isn't awful. Jenson USA sells them for under $50.
